Need Assistance with Heath Insurance?
Sound Healthcare may be able to help. TAR offers this information to assist you in your search for affordable health insurance. Sound Healthcare is not an insurance company, but is instead an insurance broker who works with many insurance companies to identify an option to fit your individual needs. This is NOT a group plan; it's a service for individuals. Sound Healthcare feels that, with group buying power, they can find quality health insurance for TAR members at an affordable price. There is, however, NO guarantee that you'll be able to find coverage. This is simply a source of information and a place to start when shopping for insurance.
For more information, please CLICK HERE!
While TAR and NAR continue to work toward the day when we can make true group coverage for health insurance available through your REALTOR organization, we hope that brokers like Sound Healthcare can expand the number of options presently available to you.
AFTER visiting the Sound Healthcare website, if you still have questions, you may direct them to R. J. Stillwell, Sound Healthcare's Executive Director ...by PHONE: 615-256-8667 ...or by EMAIL: musicrow@aol.com
